Bill > S2695

This bill requires disclosure of lead drinking water hazards to tenants of residential units, prohibits landlords from obstructing replacement of lead service lines, and concerns testing of residential rental units for lead drinking water hazards. The bill defines key terms such as "certified point-of-use water filter," "lead action level," and "lead service line." It also requires the Department of Health to develop a notice on the health risks and protective measures related to lead in drinking water, and landlords to provide a "Lead In Drinking Water Disclosure" statement to tenants. The bill further mandates that public community water systems test customer drinking water for lead upon request and prohibits charging a fee for such testing.
